My Camera Moves On Its Own After I Let Go Of WASD

I actually saw this happen to one of the devs while they were doing the aquatic pack livestream, so you're definitely not alone.
One tip I've heard is that if you have a controller, to unplug it, since sometimes it's picking up signals from that somehow.
For myself, I get this even without a controller, and it seems to happen most often when my cursor crosses over a barrier of some type -- usually a habitat perimeter, but sometimes also water, paths or rides. Also happens more after I've been playing for a long time.
I can usually stop the scrolling momentarily by typing the key that would move the camera in the same direction. So if it's scrolling uncontrollably to the left, I type "A" again. But that's only to stop the immediate scrolling. and give yourself enough time to place a few things and save your project. But if it keeps happening consistently, I close out and restart everything -- PZ, Steam, and my computer.
I play in franchise, and have noticed that most of the time after I restart, the servers have switched over either for getting a new 100 credits, or for being able to greet guests and get 20 cc. So it may be that it's connected to the server switch over. Or that may just be a coincidence of the hours that I happen to play.
Good luck!

This, if you have a controller connected, check if one of the buttons isn't accidentally activated.
